NASA politics aside, understanding and exploration of space is extremely important for countless reasons.

Human civilization is only a few thousand years old and can be gone in the blink of an eye if we don't master space.

Also, IMO space is far more weaponized than the public knows. There is likely a quiet arms race going on between the USA, Russia and China. Hence the secret robotic shuttles NASA is sending up and anti-satellite tests by other nations. Space weapons can send down unstoppable attacks anywhere on earth instantly. Would you prefer to cede control of space to the Russians or Chinese?

IMO, NASA is equally if not more important than the military.
